In reply to Marianne. You could but it wouldn't have the same flavor. The key flavors to this dish is the sweet vs kimchi flavor vs sesame oil. If you don't want to add sugar, use a substitute or just omit it and should taste ok still.

Could you use Furikake in place of the added sugar and sesame seeds?

Haha – yes it does have a name! And you can also do it with noodles – it’s called kimchimari guksu. Enjoy!

Wow! I saw a youtuber mixing this up as a side in her mukbang, and have been eating it ever since. I really didn’t think it had a name!

In reply to Christina. Yay!! I'm soo happy to hear that it is exactly what your mom made!! Not many Koreans make this or know about this.. only Koreans who came down from the North during the war - like mine. Thank you so much for the comment, always makes it all worthwhile for me. Cheers!

My mom made this for me many years ago and I always thought she just smashed the rice and kimchi together but every time I tried to replicate it, it just didn’t taste right! Now that I added the sesame oil and sugar and waited until the rice was no longer hot- it’s exactly the right dish!! Thanks so much for sharing this!
